Though most award ceremonies invite a host of celebs dressed in their formal best, the American Music Awards 2011 gave us a lot more than just that.The fun hair up-do's and bright pops of lipstick had us glued to our chairs waiting for more unconventional red carpet fare.

Taking charge of her pink hair was Katy Perry, who chose to dress it up with a Vivienne Westwood hair accessory. Also playing up her hair was Alanis Morisette who chose to braid her long hair to perfection. However, taking the top slot in the hair styles category was Taylor Swift who went for a hybrid of the ponytail and the fish tail braid.

Silver eyeshadow was the shade of choice for Heidi Klum, Selena Gomez and country music singer Hillary Scott. While Klum spiced her eyes up with a heavy dash of kohl, Gomez paired it a black winged eyeliner and Scott with a strip of long false lashes. Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Lopez let their lips take center stage with a bright fuchsia and a gorgeous peach respectively. We love YSL Rouge Volupte Perle in 107 for a look like Jennifer Lopez.
